NEW YORK -- The inconsistency of the Red Sox' bullpen hit a low point Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, when a one-run lead entering the sixth inning devolved into a 13-3 loss.
Quite simply, none of the relievers that manager John Farrell used got the job done.
Replacing debuting starter Henry Owens, Robbie Ross Jr. gave up two damaging hits in just three pitches in the sixth, as the Yankees tied the game and then swiftly took the lead.
Jean Machi got just one out while giving up a hit, a walk and three runs.
